In the examination.

Reach the venue a few minutes before the actual time. This will relieve you from tension caused by anxiety. Tell yourself that you have prepared well, and that you will perform well. Keep in mind that examiners are not beasts to fail you. They want you to perform well. Read all instructions carefully. There can be changes in the instructions. If it is an objective test with no `choice` in the questions, all of them being compulsory, do not waste time by reading all of them in the beginning. Read the questions from the first and go one answering them straightway. Skip the tough questions and answer those which are easy for you. After you finish the first round, you may go back to the beginning and attempt those you had skipped earlier. Remember that multiple choice examinations are usually time tests as well; never lose even a moment. Maintain full concentration right through. While handling essay type questions, first note down the points in the proper order and then start writing the essay, expanding each point. Allot a paragraph for each point. Of course, there should be a paragraph each for introduction and conclusion. The examiner will be happy to find the points noted in the beginning, which he should have otherwise searched for. Even if you do not have adequate time to explain everything in full, the points noted in the beginning will help you. Essay type questions should be read carefully, so as to grasp the import with clarity. If you misunderstand a question, all your efforts in writing will come to naught. Allot time for each question taking into account the marks as well. Write legibly. Never make reading your script difficult for the examiner. If you find that you cannot answer particular questions, do not brood over it. Focus on other questions. While answering problems involving solution of numerical problems, recheck the answers. If you use the calculator quickly make a rough mental estimate to confirm the answer is never far away from a practical value. A change in the decimal position can make an enormous difference. Never over write numbers. If you have made an error, cut it off by a simple line across it and write the right numbers. Otherwise, you may read the numbers wrongly-1,2&7,0&6, 0&9 may prove to be confusing. So also the digit 7 with a line across the vertical may look like the digit 3, and may confuse you, unless you are careful while writing. When you draw diagrams make them sufficiently large. Try to make things easy for the examiner. Stop writing the moment the invigilator asks you to do so. If you have a series of papers stretched over a few days as in a University examination, do not go for post mortem analysis each day. Try to prepare for the next paper.
